THE HAY CROP NOT PROMISING

Judging from reports from many
parts ofthe county, the prospect for
a good hay crop is not promising.
The spring months so far have been
too cold and dry for clover, and in
fact for all the grasses. Clover is
blooming too low, and unless we can
have warm, showery weather during
May the first crop will necessarily be
short and light. Red top and other
grasses are likewise materially effect
ed, and unless rain soon comes must
necessarily be short. In view of
these facts and to insure an abundant
supply of winter feed, we suggest that
every idle acre should be well pIow-
ed, tertilized, and sown in peas or
millet. Millet by many is thought
to be poor feed, but when it is cut
at the proper stage, and well cured
without exposure to rain, it makes
fine feed for stock. 1t is true millet
crops impoverish land, but if all the
manure it makes is cared for and pat
back on the land the latter will be
all right. Millet and peas are album
dant and cheap this spring, and as
before stated, every spare acre should
be we'll prepared, fertilized and sown
to one or the other. Peas or millet
may be soWn at any time from the
first of May to the first of August, but
the land should be plowed at least
once as early as possible to destroy
the growth of weeds and prevent the
land from being hard to work. Mil
let and peas both leave land clean
and nice for fall crop. 1t is not only
sinful to undertake to winter stock
on short feed, but very poor policy.
No farmer should fail to store away
more feed than he expects to need to
keep his stock well through a long
winter. If stock is we'll sheltered and
fed all the good hay they can eat they
will not only hold their own, but will
grow all winter and come out in fine
condition in the spring and thus be
ready for the earliest and best market
Now is the time to look after making
and storing of. hey for winter feed

President Cleveland.

Boston Herald.
There is no good reason to suppose
that President Cleveland is bothered
about his reelection. We believe
that he will accept, ifnominated, and
be glad of it. But he seems to be act
ing upon the theory that the best
way to get another term is to make
good use of the present one. Appar-
emily he knows of but one way to
strengthen himself or his party, and
that is by making a wise, hopest and
patriotic Administration. His chief
fault is his desire to cover too much
ground by his own personal labor,
and that grows out of his extreme
conscientiousness.

Sound Democratic Sense.
New York Herald.

New York Herald.
What the Democratic party will re-
quire next year is ticket which will
most surely carry the election. If,
when the time for nomination comes,
Mr.. Cleveland seems to be the man
for the head of the ticket, the Dem
ocratic convention would be silly not
to renominate him, whether this
should be agreeable to him or not.
If success should be more certain
with some one else, no doubt it will
take that man. 1t is a question
which cannot be decided until the
time comes, and we have no doubt
Mr.. Cleveland will consider the 9TH
err question--Whether he would ac-
cept a renomination-when it is Of
fered him and not until then.
Meantime we recall to the recOl-
lection of Democrats who want their
party to win in 1888, certain. words
of Mr.. Randall:
"We can more easily re-elect
Mr.. Cleveland than elect a new man.
Or, to put this in a different shape, if
we can not re-elect Mr.. Cleveland,
he having accomplished in part or in
whole the reforms desired by the
people, then we cannot elect any one,
We must cluster around him and his
administration, and thus keep the
party together, and strengthen it and
enable it to meet its opponents in 1885
with a solid front"

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

Even the Sound is of COnsequence-SOme
Names Fatal to Success.
Life with good number is a struggle at
the best, and the success that attends us is
influenced more than people sometimes think
by the name we bear Even the sound of a
name is of consequence. 'EHarsh names, -
says Isaac Disraei, "will have, in spite of
all our philosophy, painful and ludicrous
effect on our ear and our association. It is
yexatious that the softneSs of delicious vowel
or the ruggedneSs of memorable consonant
should at all be connected with man. hap
piness or even have an influence on his fort
une."
Some names, indeed, are almost fatal to
success; they simply suggest jokes and en-
courage familiarity. A man has no hesita-
ton in proving ''by thumps upon your back
. how he esteems your merit if you are called
Trigger, or Tapp, or Trundle or Littlebov.
but he would hardly venture on it were you
more aristocratic Montgomery, or g. Gas
colgne. For man to inherit an absurd or
Insignificant name is to have stone tied
round his neck in childhood to keep all his
life in the depths of obscurity. It would be
difficult to find a famous character in Iitera-
ture, art or anything else with a surname at
least approaching in character to say, Tooth
aches, or Bang, or Baby. Who could fancy
SquIb or a Cable visited at any time by
the inspirations of genius? John Wilkes ex-
pressed this idea once in conversation with
Or. johnson. They were speaking of
Elkenah Settle, the last of the city poets.
There Is something in names, - said Wilkes,
(which one cannot help feeling. Now
EIkenah Settle sounds queer; who can ex-
pect much from that name? We should have
no hesitation to give it for John Dryden in |
preference to Elkenah Settle from the names |
only, without knowing their different |
merits"
considerations such as these, not to speak |
OF teStamentary injunctions and conditions
attached to deeds of entail, have induced
people from time to time to change their
names. The world being as it is, and mans
instinct leading him TO fasten on and WORRY
